حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعِنْدَنَا شَطْرٌ مِنْ شَعِيرٍ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لِلْجَارِيَةِ كِيلِيهِ فَكَالَتْهُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ فَنِيَ . قَالَتْ فَلَوْ كُنَّا تَرَكْنَاهُ لأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهَا شَطْرٌ تَعْنِي شَيْئًا .

Aishah said: “When the Messenger of Allah died, we had a small quantity of barley. We ate from it for as long as Allah willed. Then I told the servant girl to measure it. She measured it, and before long it was gone.” Aishah said, “Had we left it unmeasured, we would have eaten from it for longer.” Abu Isa graded this hadith sahih and explained that by ‘a small quantity’ she meant some barley.
